It has some obvious benefits with real downsides. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First and foremost, free on-street parking close to RAI Amsterdam is nearly impossible to find. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you might find lots of free on-street parking available in the suburbs particularly around North Amsterdam. The free spaces are often close to people homes so you need to careful not to cause any obstruction. If you are willing to crawl the streets in search of that lucrative free space, there are spaces to be found in the Amstelveen region. However, be prepared to spend 30 minutes on the bus or for a long walk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The massive issue here is the daily space race. Locals know where the free spaces are and often rise at the crack of dawn to make sure they snap up the space in the nick of time. It\u2019s also worth thinking about security issues often rear their ugly head as cars are frequently damaged causing massive hassle and stress to motorists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Win-win situation here is if you have a friend living in the area who is happy to let you use their space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>On-Street Parking<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-street parking is sometimes available around the RAI, however people are only allowed to stay for a maximum of three hours and it costs \u20ac3 &#8211; \u20ac4 per hour depending on location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around big events at the RAI Amsterdam, different streets are blocked off so that locals are not inconvienced. During these street blocks, neighourbood residents can identify themselves with ID which can be picked up from the RAI desk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Park &amp; Ride<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When events aren\u2019t on the RAI parking is one of Amsterdam\u2019s park &amp; ride hubs but when events are in full swing there are lots of other options if you want to avoid the traffic around the venue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RAI has its own train station which is located very close to the the RAI complex and makes it easy to reach the venue from anywhere in the Netherlands. However, the station is under construction until May 2019 and it is best to avoid this station until then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means for Park &amp; Ride options it\u2019s best to find somewhere on Metro or Bus routes. Metro 50, 51 &amp; 52 all stop just outside the RAI while Bus route 62 also service the RAI Amsterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Shared Economy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Globally the fastest growing type of parking is being driven by the shared economy.
